Find out everything you could ever need to know about this simple cosmetic procedure.

Most people have some little imperfections in their smile that drive them crazy. Even if other people don’t notice, if you notice it then it’s an issue. Of course, the goal of our Pasadena, TX, cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kevin Gill, is to make sure that you always have a smile that you are proud of. Find out more about tooth contouring and reshaping and how it could help you.

Q. What is tooth contouring/reshaping?

A. This simple, inexpensive and non-invasive cosmetic procedure involves improving the overall look and shape of a tooth by shaving off small amounts of enamel. If you have a tooth that is excessively pointy, has a small chip or crack, or is jagged then this technique could be right for you.

Q. What goes into this procedure?

A. This treatment is rather simple. We will use a polishing tool that will buff away the enamel (the outer layer) of your tooth. By doing so, our Pasadena dentist is able to create a more uniformed and symmetrical smile overall while also improving the shape and appearance of one or more teeth.

Q. Is it painful?

A. Absolutely not. Not only is this one of the easiest options for improving your smile’s appearance but also it can be done painlessly without the need for anesthesia.

Q. Is tooth contouring right for me?

A. If you have small changes you want to make to your smile that only requires us to remove some enamel from your tooth then this procedure may be right for you. It’s important to note that this treatment option can only make minor adjustments to your appearance and won’t be able to make more serious alterations.

Of course, sometimes a little tweak is all you need to see major smile results. We would be happy to sit down with you and determine if this treatment is right for you.
